E                    G#                A                B 
People are starting to tear down their Christmas lights.  
             C#       B                       A            B 
It never got cold here but they know that the season's died.    (Repeat Chord Progression) 
I've been sleeping in a motel off 95. I don't really mind it much. The clerk at the desk is nice.  
 
A                                               E 
He pours me a coffee and asks me if it's been a long night.     (Repeat A and E) 

verse 2: 
E                    G#                A            B                C#   
(Repeat Chord Progression Again) 
I found a bar that's just outside the township line. I go there most every night.  
I drank my last paycheck dry and outside, a homeless man asks me for change and  
I look him straight in his eyes. He stops to apologize.
